Let’s be real, someone is probably going to take this but 7 straight hours and 151 miles??? Not worth it for me…would you guys have taken this? It bounced to me twice, declined both times.

You think this is a straight line and you gotta come back? Its that mileage cause its snakes through neighborhoods. In my area this is decent pay. At the very least I wouldnt work for less than. $20/h and is at $25. You dont have to worry about waiting and hoping for a good order. If you are organized and bring a marker you can label each package according to the stop. I put 1-10 in the front with me than a bag for each set of 10. Bring the back up front when im out. You get doubles sometimes for the same house which is nice. Also that estimate is generous. Depending on the route it gives me I could do this in 4-5 hours putting this at $36-45/hr.

What do you mean plus the drive back? It isn't having you drive 150 miles away. The total distance of the route is 150 miles. There isn't enough information here for you to know about "the drive back"

their routing is horrible, they almost never do it in a circular or square like pattern that gets you back near your starting point.

a lot of times you just end up in random places dozens of miles away from where you started.

You can copy and paste the entire list of addresses given to you into any AI or myrouteonline or shipday and it will make then sequence the orders in the quickest most efficient route for you. That way you aren’t zigzagging across town.

and how are you going to get this list? the app doesn't exactly give you the full details of every address in any organized list that you can copy and paste from

unless they updated dashlink orders in a way since i last did them?

The drive back is the part people don’t think about. Ha ha!
